Yo all, first post here, thanks for this forum and all that has come from it.
My wife's Nookcolor is stock NOT rooted.
We want to transfer files from PC or Laptop to the NC without using USB - sideload. So I setup a little HTTP file server HFS (google to find it I can't post links)
which works great for PCs to transfer files easily over the internet.
Problem I can connect through the Nookcolor browser to the HFS server on my PC, but when I try to download I get
------
<Unknown>
68.111.111.250 (fake ip)
Download unsuccessful
------
I can download files via laptop connect to same HFS no problem.
I can download files via Nookcolor from internet websites no problem.
Google search shows a lot of people complaining about same issue, but I don't see any solutions especially for a Stock Nookcolor.

is there any software or anything that can be downloaded to make the bluetooth have more options on the xda mini or wizard??? i would like to be able to transfer files between phones/laptops/computers etc from my xda wizard via bluetooth????? please help..
many thanks
I don't know about phone-to-phone, but you can already do phone-to-laptop or phone-to-desktop via the bluetooth. You can set up activesync to work over the bluetooth connection (I believe there are threads on this forum; if not do a Yahoo search). Once that is set up, you can transfer files between the PC and the phone over bluetooth.
HTH,

1. ActiveSync and a file browser
2. OBEX does work
3. if you need the File Transfer Profile (see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1065&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 for an explanation of the difference between it and OBEX - or, for that matter, ALL these file transfer issues), AKU3 will contain it too
Hi all...
Sorry for the noob question but I am still really new with Android devices.
Can someone please explain how you "sideload" apps to my Galaxy S i9000M?
I really hope this is not an extremely dumb question but I really want to try the
z4root app out that RyanZA has created and it is not YET on the Market for download.
Any assistance and explaination is much appreciated!!!
PS... Im a quick learner so once it is explained I will not bother you PRO's again for something like this...
-EDIT- Ok... I see that this thread is not getting much response so I will add some further information in hopes that someone can explain things to me.
I am on stock JH2 Eclair Firmware (if that matters).
I want to know... How is the best way to download these apk files to my device to be installed? Via my computer and then xfered to my SGS via USB or should I download the file directly to my device?
Once its on my device, where is the best place to put it? ie. Internal SD, External SD, somewhere else?
Please oh mighty DROID experts... Help this unworthy noob in his quest for "DROID-DOM"...
There probably isn't a best way, but if you download the .apk to your desktop computer you can email it to your phone and then save attachment. I use internalsd/download because I don't have an external sd. Then use a program like Astro Browser on your phone and navigate to the download directory. Tap the file you saved and then open app manager to install.
USB or through kies will get the file to your phone easily also.
I like when people create a QR code for their files. I browse mostly on my desktop so I use barcodescanner on my phone to get the link to my phone.

Thank You Videonut. I appreciate the response and the help.
Any way works. Card reader for your SD card, KIEs, USB debugging mode, Dropbox, email attachment, web browser, bluetooth... none of it matters. Location on your phone doesn't matter either. You are still going to have to install it.
Thanks everyone for the explainations. They will come in handy in the future but for now it seems that RyanZA has put the z4root on the market and I no longer need to side load it but again... Thanks for helping!!!
I'm trying to browse the filesystem in my Samsung Galaxy GTI9000 (eclair) using bluetooth. However, from the PC I can only see the directories, not the files, which is very annoying. Using the same PC I'm able to browse all the files in other phones without problems. Any ideas?
Hi all
I have searched various forums and tried to access technical support from Samsung (very nearly impossible and no response as yet!!), but not come up with any help or explanation
I can transfer files via Kies and Dropbox, but don't always have access to a laptop, for example I might want to transfer some file digital photos from my camera or share some files with another person
any ideas please?
Look into airdriod.

When you transfer files you used kies WiFi or Kies application on your PC.
Download the USB Samsung drivers from the Odin threat, and activate the USB debugging mode at the developer settings.
I'm used this and works.

I just got the Prime R1 HD 16gb today and did TWRP and root. The only issue I've had is for some reason if I move a file onto the phone from my PC with a USB cable, it wont show up. E.G. If I move a file to my downloads folder, it wont be there, but if I download the same file through the phone from the internet it works. I can still see the files I've moved onto the phone from the PC if I use a file explorer, but it wont let me do anything with them. I tried going into the TWRP menu and switched the system off of read only thinking that may help, but it seems to have not done a thing. Complete beginner when it comes to this kind of thing if it isn't obvious. Any ideas?

That sounds familiar to the mtp "bug" Android has had for years.
The media storage database does not update when files are added from mtp.
Some work around that are listed are to use USB transfer instead. (Not used that one before)
Disconnect usb cable clear the data if the media storage app and force close it, then reconnect usb is should rescan the media and rebuild database.
Or just a reboot(I have done this and it usually works)
